Superior Game Lodge
Esiweni Lodge offers five, luxurious, individual suites. Each has an indoor shower, magnificent views from the bath and a private, outdoor shower. Two of the suites are interconnected for use as a family unit. Each suite has underfloor heating for cold winter nights and overhead fans for warm, summer evenings. Our honeymoon suite has a private, outdoor bath with stunning views across the valley.
Fully retracting patio doors open onto private decks where you can enjoy the majestic views of the Sundays River, waterfall and valley below.
The décor of the main lodge is elegant depicting a colonial safari theme. Large, stone hearths warm the lounge and dining areas on cold, winter nights. During good weather, outdoor dining overlooking the valley is served on the vast, wooden deck.
An intercom system is in place to connect each suite to the lodge staff in case of emergencies. Safes are also provided.

When the guests arrive at the North Gate they will have to sign the reserve indemnity. The gate guard will contact the lodge via the radio. If the guests have phoned from Ladysmith, which is preferable, then a Field Guide from ESIWENI will already be waiting for them at the visitors’ car park. The gate guard will then inform the guests to proceed to the car park and how to get there.
If the guests have not phoned from Ladysmith, the gate guard will ask the guests to wait at the gate for an ESIWENI ranger.
